The Best of the MTV VMAs

3 years ago

Music fans look forward to the MTV Video Music Awards every year. And why? Because each year, the show is packed with shocking performances, some of the best (and most horrifying) red carpet looks, and as always a few jaw-dropping moments (cough cough, Kanye West/Taylor Swift) that are burned in our minds forever.

Best Pre-Show Performance: Ariana GrandeThat girl can SING. Plus, how sweet is she?! She sparkles like the sequins on her pretty purple dress.

Best Red Carpet Entrance: PharrellHe took over the red carpet with BICYCLES. Lots of them ... doing fancy tricks! If you didn't know Pharrell arrived on the red carpet, here was your indication!

Best Dressed Female: Rita OraThis dress is TO DIE FOR. Sparkles, feathers, a slit showing off your perfectly toned leg .. what more could you want in a dress?! Plus, Rita, could you BE any more gorgeous?!

Best Dressed Male: Daft Punk, Pharrell, & Nile RogersThere were a lot of well dressed guys at the VMAs this year but .. there was no competition to this. LOOK AT THOSE SUITS! LOOK AT THEM! They are glorious.

Most Adorable Couple: Robin Thicke & Paula PattonTogether since they were 16 - they take the cake. Plus, that is one amazing looking couple!! We don't know who to be more jealous of! Robin to be married to Paula, or Paula to be married to Robin!

Retro Look: Jared LetoWe will call this look "grunge chic" - a new take on the '90s (which are back in full force!)

Best BFF Moment: Selena Gomez & Taylor SwiftDid MTV really seat them next to eachother or did they request that? Also, they are wearing the same color. Twinsies!

Best Comeback Performance: Lady GagaShe re-enacted her entire new music video for "Applause!" That takes some serious skill to go through all those costume changes. Plus, did you SEE her body?! Lady G is back and better than EVER! Side note, she remained has Gaga the mermaid for the entire rest of the night!!! Sea shell bra and all.

Best Acceptance Speech: Taylor Swift"I also want to thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is. Because now I've got one of these. Thank you very much!" OUCHVILLE, POPULATION: HARRY STYLES. Plus, Kanye didn't ruin her moment. Double win for Taylor!

Performance of the Night: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - DUH.If there is anyone who deserves the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, it is this beautiful man, right here. He can sing, he can dance, plus he is very easy on the eyes. His VMA performance was PERFECTION. We got a taste of every Justin Timberlake hit. We're all crying a river ... of happiness. And of course, the crowning jewel of the performance (and much anticipated) *NSYNC REUNION. THEY STILL GOT IT, AND THEY NEED TO GO ON TOUR IMMEDIATELY.
